I won my brother’s rival in a Date the Player auction… and had the best night of my life.
Davis Guidry is Orleans University’s starting rookie pitcher.
He’s handsome, charming, and an all-around flirt.
After spending a hot, spontaneous night together, we can’t seem to keep our hands off each other.
But our no-strings fun comes crashing down when my overbearing brother, who happens to be Davis’s biggest rival, catches us in action.
Even that seems to only make the fire burn hotter when we’re together.
And suddenly, our secret fling starts to feel like something more than either of us bid on.
Are these casual hookups between us just a fun way to pass my freshman year…
Or have we made the ultimate rookie mistake and caught feelings?

âGonna be real disappointed if youâre not the highest bidder tonight, beautiful.âThe excitement I felt when this novella was announced because I was SO curious about Davis and that man hit all my expectations. The story starts off at a date auction night where the highest bidder gets to spend a night with a man of their choice. Zara feels an instant attraction the moment she sees Davis on that stage. The feeling is more than mutual and soon enough we get to their date.âI wanted you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I saw no one else. Only you, Trouble,âI loved seeing them in such a carefree environment where they were just able to enjoy each others company. Even after deciding to leave at as one magical night, they are unable to resist pull and end up spending more time together. Things get a little complicated when they are interrupted by her older brother, Davisâ rival.âIâll see you tonight. Wear the lipstick, Trouble.âI loved everything about their story. The attraction, the nicknames, the banter and man did this novella bring the spice. This is such a special series and while Iâm sad that itâs over, I canât wait to see what comes next.

3.5* Fact check needed
Nothing irritates me more than a glaring mistake – especially a plot point- in a book! The 2 male leads are âfightingâ over THE starting pitcher position. Hello, there are 4-5 ( out of a minimum 8 pitchers on the team) starting pitcher positions as pitchers are rotated so they donât injure themselves. If youâre going to write it, pick a different position that really has a starter, like the catcher or shortstop. Rant over.Obviously I didnât enjoy the book as much as Iâd have liked. The 2 MCs have chemistry but the novella is filled with sex scenes and not a lot of dialogue that supports the antagonism.

I have read the whole Orleans U series and loved all of them. I think Davis and Zara were the most fun of the group, though.With this being a novella, we didnât get to see anyone else from the other books in the series, but it was still so fun to get to know Davis better and to meet Zara.This was a fun, spicy, and cute little novella to binge.I love Marenâs writing with the banter, spice, and sweet moments.

“…Iâve never loved Trouble more.â
âI knew that I was in trouble the moment that I laid eyes on you, Zara Andrews. And Iâve never loved Trouble more.âRookie Mistake (Orleans University, 3.5Author: Maren MooreRating: âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸Spice: ð¶ï¸ð¶ï¸ð¶ï¸After winning a date with Davis Guidry, Zara wasnât expecting it to be one of the best nights of her life or for it to cause so much drama. A night of spontaneity and sexual tension quickly turned into an undeniable connection that they just canât ignore. Even with the added threat of her older brother sharing his very obvious distaste for Davis, Zara just canât seem to stay away and Davis is a more than willing participant.Short and sweet with plenty of spice! After thinking this series had come to an end, I was so excited to hear there was going to be a novella for Davis and his story was the perfect ending. While the plot is minimal, we do still get some story to the spice with the added drama of Zaraâs brother. Fast, fun, and flirty, Zara and Davisâ story will have you blushing from all their chemistry and dirty talk.If you like:Baseball RomanceBrotherâs Rival/TeammatePlayboy X WildchildReviewed by: Karleyð§¡This review was written by members of the Sporty Spice Book Club (sporty.spice.book.club on both Instagram and TikTok).

Spicy and Hot just like Davis!
Moore delivers the perfect short, spicy, and fun story for everyone’s favorite rookie baseball player, Davis Guidry.Davis was an instant favorite of mine after reading Walkoff Wedding, and he was a fan favorite. Davis is an easygoing, fun-loving baseball star with one dirty mouth. Zara is confident, laid back, and knows what she wants. These two were the perfect combination of sweet, light-hearted, and spice. While this book is heavy on spice, it carries a sweet storyline of how the right person can make us want to be better without even trying. Their relationship is easy and proves how the right person only enhances everything about us.
